What to Do When Your Doctor Decides to Retire

Doctor Decides to RetireWhen the doctor whom you’ve trusted for years and maybe even decades announces his or her plans to retire, it’s only natural to feel sad. Many patients view their physicians as loyal friends. It’s also natural to feel a bit worried. Over the years, you’ve trusted your physician with the most intimate details of your health.  You trust your doctor because he or she knows you and is familiar with your past medical problems and procedures. Starting over with a new physician may seem scary, how will you even begin to communicate your extensive medical history to someone new?

We’re Here to Help

The longer that you’ve been a patient of your current doctor, the thicker your medical file probably is. Your medical records include the following critical information: details about past surgeries, illnesses, injuries, or hospitalizations; prescription records; lab results; immunization records; and X-rays, MRIs, and other diagnostic and imaging. The idea of tracking down and duplicating all of this information on your own, or expecting your retiring doctor to, may seem overwhelming. That’s where we come in. My Retired Doctor is a service that scans patient medical records; creates digital copies of these records; and stores them in our secure digital storage database.

When you begin your search for a new doctor, you may visit multiple physicians to find the right fit. Knowing that your medical records are easily accessible, you won’t be tempted to settle for a physician who you may not feel entirely comfortable with simply because you don’t want the hassle of gathering and sending your medical records a second time. Our services give you the peace of mind to shop around until you find the right doctor. Don’t worry about your medical records we’ve got that covered!

Confidentiality Guaranteed

Besides the convenience factor, another reason to entrust your medical records handling to My Retired Doctor is that our digital storage methods are far more secure than paper storage. In the wrong hands, your medical records can be used against you. The last thing you want is for your medical records to be accessible to insurance companies, potential employers, even acrimonious acquaintances all of whom may be able to discriminate against you based on various aspects of your medical history. Your medical records are secure with My Retired Doctor. We will release your medical records only when you or your doctor authorize us to. Finding a new doctor is stressful enough without having to worry about protecting your medical paper trail.
